Old treasure now a quilt.

Here is another one of the quilt tops a gal found in her mother's things, now finished so she can surround herself with a bit of her mother's love this Christmas. I added the border and hand quilted it for her. The close-up of the lavender pieces show some holes that I found in numerous pieces throughout the quilt. Does that indicate it is feed-sack fabric? What years would you estimate the fabric is from? Anyone know the name of this pattern? It is similar to a Boston Commons, but the pieces are diamond shaped.

Don't have any knowledge for you, but beautiful job in finishing it! It will indeed be a treasure.

Looks like A Trip Around the World or Boston Common's. My grandmother made me A Trip Around the World quilt out of 30's and 40's fabric which looks like yours.

Oh Golly! I love this quilt. It is gorgeous. You did a wonderful thing restoring this for her. It could have layed around and gone bad. Now it is a beauty. Good for you. That purple piece looks like almost a straight line of small holes. I can't tell you if it feed sack or not. I doubt it tho.

How sweet of you to finish this for her! You've done an outstanding job on it!!

The little holes look like where the feedsacks, or flour sacks were sewn together. The last I can remember my grandmother buying feedsacks like that was in the early 50s. They were about a yard each. That way you knew how many sacks of a particular pattern to make the dress you wanted! They had smaller pieces of fabrics in 5 lb. flour sacks. I would guess it was made in the 40s or early 50s.

What a beautiful quilt!
